Confessions

Re: Confessions

I confess that I fail as an adult and am having some pretty serious financial issues right now.

This leads into me being terrified that BF will find out that I fail as an adult and go running for the hills.

I confess that if I don't get a new job soon, I will probably have a huge mental breakdown. I can't do this anymore. I was on the verge of an all-out meltdown pretty much all night on Monday, and I just laid there and thought and thought and thought, while BF snored away peacefully.

I confess that, despite all of the job & financial troubles, I am happier than I have ever been. And I can't imagine what life will be like once I get those things figured out.

I agree with everyone else and I think it's normal to feel insecure from time to time. Not a lot of people know this but, my BF was married once before. I often compare myself to his ex and I know I shouldn't because they are divorced for a reason but, the fact that she initiated everything makes me think sometimes he'll want to get back with her since he tried to make things work.

Bri don't feel like you fail as an adult. You aren't the only one, the economic times are just at an all out low. You have a BF that loves you and friends that will bring out their inner red eyed unicorn to defend you. Take the happy you have inside right now and focus on that. I know the stress of finding a new job is rough but you will and I know it find a new job!

Bri- I almost feel like it's a rite of passage as an adult to go through some money woes. I agree with Lyn times right now economically are crappy. I know things will get better. Your BF loves you and cares about for reasons that have nothing to do with money. you.

I confess meal planning is so hard, especially now that I cook meat for BF and we both have very different types of diets. I sometimes have to cook two separate meals....

In Response to Re: Confessions : Exactly. I knew that the people in my family that I needed to have there would be there but I couldn't be sure about anyone in FI's family except maybe his dad. You're probably right. And because we've been engaged for so long. We booked the big things early on so I'm probably just second-guessing myself and getting stressed about dishing out so much $$Posted by rdr716

I think no matter how far out you've planned it would be hard to hand over your hard earned money to someone. I feel for you. I'm only a few weeks in and the checks I've written are already driving me bonkers. I'm used to my savings account going up and not down. It freaks me out a little.

They made wine for a reason:) And all of this will be worth it in the end when you're the Mrs. to your FI.

Diriving into work I knew this thread would be here waiting for me so I have this.... I confess I know the lyrics to Keh$ha's "Die Young" and I am so ashamed. I confess that I no longer feel motivated to go to bar class and never want to look in a mirror again. I confess that I feel the need to dye my hair an outrageous color. Posted by motoLyn

I am right there with you. FSIL owns a studio and yet I haven't set foot in a class since Nov. You'd think spending the holidays with her tininess would motivate me. It didn't.

In Response to Re: Confessions : I confess that I kinda love that song. . . hangs head in shame. I am truly much more of a rock and roll or country music type, but sometimes those beats get to me. Posted by cschiano
